Why can the calories of pumpkin be so low?
It contains 6 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams, which can be said to be quite "low carbon", which has been tested in the laboratory. There is no doubt that pumpkin is low in calories, because it is rich in carotene, trace elements and dietary fiber, and less in carbohydrates. And because pumpkin contains pectin and cellulose, it can improve satiety. Pectin in pumpkin can regulate the absorption rate of food in stomach, slow down the absorption of sugar, and soluble cellulose can delay the emptying of food in stomach. It is true that pumpkin is the gospel food for diabetics and fitness people.
